[@robadc]

@LordMunchkin In my experience Hyperion goes brrrrr

[@squirrellordsgaming2772]

I Imagine you only needed a few large: supply, Fuel, and Passenger ships to keep this whole fleet going. Imagine a pirate fleet's shock and terror when they see only a few ships on the scope, but when they get close they sudenly get a radar blackout when all the small ships using the big ships signal to mask their presence suddenly appears and attacks like a Piranha Swarm from hell. That's it, I'm getting this game!

[@mareczek00713]

I mean, I kinda made it with turning everything I owned into a fighter carrier but hell, frigates also sound nice.

[@henryhamilton4087]

main problem with big ships is, unless you turn up the battle sizes normally you can only get about 2-3 big ships (cruisers - capitals) out and then a couple frigates, especially if your opponent is a late game enemy with maxed officers (since the side with better officers gets a higher proportion of the initial DP) This fleet is basically the logical answer to that.

[@rory8182]

I just had all of the wolf clas ships, damn things are brutal, got a couple larger crafts for slugging it out with larger ships, but everything was outfitted to allow my fleet of up to cruisers outrun frigate fleets

[@pyrphoros8739]

Only playing with Wolf-class frigates for the proper woflpack is very potent as well. Gets you effortless all the way to late game until you have to fight stations.

[@likeablekiwi6265]

That's probably why he has such a variety of frigate's

[@Sir_Bucket]

Yeah stations are really the weak point of this strategy. You can't be outflanked when you have guns pointing in every direction.

[@mortache]

​​@@moguldamongrel3054 monitors best tank. Its even better than Paragon because it dissipates hard flux passively

[@PerfectDeath4]

Been doing wolf pack runs lately, wasn't very impressed by the glimmer, it was almost always the frigate to die during a battle. Not sure if that's just the AI core going full badger and fighting until it dies regardless of its flux. I often end up running a SO tempest with double ion pulsers. Once I see an opportunity I disable a ship and let the pack tear it to pieces while I move onto the next. Because of the 30 ship limit and how crowded a swarm of frigates can get i've mixed in bigger ships overtime.

[@Burvjradzite]

SO Glimmer is fine addition if your other frigates are aggressive as well to give it shoulder

[@PerfectDeath4]

@@Burvjradzite yeah I was only using the one glimmer, so it got focused quick. I feel like 1-2 more glimmers would stick around and draw fire away. That is the big strength of SO frigates, they can rotate who takes the hits to manage the flux. SO'd frigates can rotate very fast leaving narrow windows of vulnerability. Human officers, even the reckless ones, I find will pull out sooner than the AI core'd ones.

[@likeablekiwi6265]

@@PerfectDeath4 nah... One would always die in the first engagement against a highly equipped radiant and more so against a terrasect which can literally wipe out four of them before the other frigate's could even come and help...

[@PerfectDeath4]

@@likeablekiwi6265 Tailor your fleet to what you fight, frigates are cheap, sneaky, and quick. There's certainly a couple of things out there that EAT frigates tho, so its something I store in planet storage.

Tempest is so freaking good. The game never tells you that its drones double as torpedoes tho. I was very plaisantly surprised when I realise they do.

[@olegoleg258]

Damn, they really seem OP in a sense, or maybe you just play well But yes i have to get those 3x speed/flux/firerate ships with a lot of omens soon, who cares how tough the enemy is when I just EMP the living heck out of them

[@PerfectDeath4]

Omens are great because their bug zapper works as point defense AND goes through friendly ships. Great for those dense moments when the pack is shoving everyone aside. The scarabs are still hilarious when they shove everything out of their way during their zoomies. =P

[@ineednochannelyoutube5384]

It fails as soon as you start facing large fleets, because frigates just lack staying power. Less than t minutes of peak performance time is just not enough when a late game fleet battle can take over an hour.

The admiral and officer builds are flashes throughout video, fleet composition and ship loadout also. The main idea is to quickly swarm your enemy with a wolfpack of best frigates in the game.
